MLA Style Manual

What is MLA?

MLA is the preferred citation style for English. Proper citations are required in all of your writing. Not only do they prove that you've done your research and haven't plagiarized, but they also provide a road map to further reading for those interested in your topic. If you need help with MLA, please ask a librarian.

MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used in the liberal arts and humanities.
